London : J. & A. Churchill, 1907, 8°, IX, (1), 131 pp., 112 Figs., orig. Leinenband. First Edition! "These Hunterian Lectures were delivered at the Royal College of Surgeons in 1906. The 500 speciems which were then shown, and upon which the Lectures were based, can be exyamined by any one interested in the Subject." Preface, Arthur H. Cheatle. Cheatle, Arthur Henry (1866 - 1929) "He was educated at King's College Hospital, and afterwards proceeded to Vienna; on his return to England he took the MRCS and after serving as House Surgeon to Lord Lister he acted as House Accoucheur to the hospital. He then determined to devote himself to otology, and was appointed Assistant Aural Surgeon to King's College Hospital, where he became Aural Surgeon on the retirement of Dr Urban Pritchard. He also acted as Teacher of Otology at the Royal Army Medical College, and was for a time Surgeon to the Royal Free Hospital." "Cheatle was a patient, careful worker and a cautious theorizer. Exceptionally shy and retiring in character, he allowed others to receive credit for discoveries in aural surgery which he himself had made. Perhaps his greatest contribution to aural surgery was in his preparation of specimens - over 700 in number - to illustrate the variations in the anatomy of the mastoid region, and the influence of the anatomical type on the clinical features and progress of middle-ear infection. This collection he presented, in 1911, with a descriptive catalogue written by himself, to the Museum of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, as a supplement to the famous Toynbee Collection, continuing, in later years, to add many other preparations and to keep the catalogue up to date. Cheatle's specimens illustrate the age and sex variations in the form and structure of the temporal bone; they provide the basis of anatomical fact on which rest the present-day operations on the mastoid region. He proved that the dense mastoid was not, as was commonly held, the product of chronic inflammation, but a normal anatomical type of bone which is indirectly causative of chronic suppurative middle-ear disease."
